Share Your Orders Thread

Yesterday I ordered from Della Terra for the first time and got to use the Valentine coupon! I got a “Custom Try Me Pack” which is the best idea EVER! I wish all tea companies offered this. Anyway I got Autumn Leaves, Lemon Chiffon, and Gingersnap because I was in desperate need of some caffeine free teas for the evenings, and Pineapple Upside Down Cake and S’mores just cos they sounded delish. I also got an ounce of Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. I blame T.C.! :)

@TC. It was a bit of a discussion through email, but they were not reluctant in the least, just very open about how unusual it is.

@alpha, considering I am used to cooking with (plain) matcha, and can drink my way through the 1-2 oz tins in a week or so (if I am not rationing like mad), we will see. I am guessing it will last about 2 months or so.

Ah, this is alongside other teas, but yah, I hear you. I grew up with matcha always in the house, but still not drinking it often (actually, I grew up using matcha soley for cooking…genmai and sencha were for drinking…and my house never feels right unless I have all three, plus a mint and a jasmine on hand)

I bought their Shui Jin Gui oolong, and their two new puerhs but accidentally had it sent to my parents address rather than my own. but I did successfully order the Fujian Jasmine white tea and it’s good. I’m waiting for the tea of the month box to get here before I buy the two other new oolongs.

I’m more likely to write about the oolongs than the puerhs simply because I’m still feeling my way around puerhs and I much prefer oolongs. Also, the oolongs are in the package, so next weekend I might write something if I have time.

Okay, so I made another order. I’ve been really bad this month. :( I keep telling myself it’s for my birthday. How much birthday tea is too much when you’re buying it for yourself? Worst part is, I still haven’t tried all the samples I bought from Upton a few months ago, but now I went and bought MORE samples. Well, too late now! :D

As you may have gathered, I’m doing research on what kind of Earl Grey I like most. I have high hopes for the Sacher Blend. I also got a 125 packet of Poire Creme because I’ve had it before and know it’s good. I need more non-caf tea in my life! Which is why I picked up more rooibos samples. :) I like the sound of the Candied Almond. :) Can’t wait for this to arrive!
